Smashing Pumpkins was one of my rock 'n roll influences. Check out the results:

Subject: Great Sound Quality - SBD

This is one of the only Pumpkins archive concerts with a good sonic range - especially for a 1996 show.

Subject: Amazing!

The band at the height of their powers not long before Jonathan Melvoin OD'd and Jimmy was kicked out. Killer set all the way through and the sound quality is flawless. One of the best MCIS shows with the original lineup that you'll find.

Best live version of "Disarm" I've ever heard with great keyboards from Jonathan Melvoin.

the great sound quality is why this show is so great. BUT that's not to denigrate the performance. that's pretty great also.

Subject: The Perfect Mellon Collie Show!

I don't think there is a better Mellon Collie Era show than this one. To add to that this show is soundboard, while most of the other shows are audience recordings. Every song on this set list is perfect, and is performed beautifully. Download this show right now!

Great recording. Although this version of Mayonaise is still heart-wrenching, Corgan's dubious choice of switching octaves to better fit his vocal range detracts from the song's affect a little bit. The live version of Fuck You (An Ode to No One), although close-to-the-chest, is probably one of the best live versions available. Although this recording is missing some of the energy of some of the others from the MCIS tour, it also showcases the Pumpkins' talent that some of the sloppiness of the more energetic shows obscures. This recording is a good mix of the energy of early Pumpkins and the tightness of the newer post-Zeitgeist incarnations of the band.
